good news!!!
got the rx3 running tonight! we tune it on wednesday then head to the redline time attack in nashville friday!

oh i saw a BEAUTIFUL turboII the other day at a house in the neighborhood accross the street from horizon elementary school. a bright and shinny red with the same wheels as my bmw... looked sharp

 

Welcome. We get together from time to time but no orgianized monthly meets. We have been talking about pizza for months now. LOL.. Replacing the clutch is not bad. I do mine in a few hours.

 

Glad to here the rx3 is up and running. Good luck at the Time attach in TN.

 

Got any hints or tips to make it go easier?

 

get a shop book to make sure you know what all needs to be done. Make sure you know what tools you are going to need. Big *** socket for flywheel removal (if resurfacing flywheel). Is nice to have a flywheel stop to hold it in place while you break your back on the big nut.......

i would suggest not pulling the flywheel on the car. it takes a HUGE socket and a HUGE breaker bar. and to just scuff it up and throw another clutch in there. and changing to a light weight flywheel makes a huge difference.

 

soak the nuts over night or for a couple of days in liquid wrench or pb blaster

the car's nut (not yours).

 

sorry for being dead guys. been busy with my 7. i got the engine cracked open and the interior gutted. one face of my front rotor has rust on it from where the engine sat in the junkyard. also the side seals on that face are practically stuck in. so i might have to replace my rotors, housings, and possibly even my front iron. but on a lighter not i layed down 44 sq.ft of dynamat this past weekend in my 88. im tryen to get the interior all done before fall hits so i can roll her into my garage. congrats on getten the RX3 running, sounds nice.

heres some shots of my rotors

 

yea mike... pizza.... when is that gunna happen? whats up with everyone friday?

 

glass bead blast them. They will clean right up.

 

well not sure if I am working friday yet but either that night or saturday night is my goal. Staurday is the midnight madness frfom 11pm-2am and weather looks good!

 

Didn't realize there were so many RX7s lurking around Madison... I'll have to keep an eye out.

Mine's the vert with the antenna that doesn't go all the way down. Hope to see some of you around.

 

import alliance is this weekend... and since the rx3 needs a rebuild after seeing 17psi on stock turbo/manifold lol me and my brother are running the HPDE in his miata

 

Just checking in. Haven't had any time lately to post or hang out. Armymech give me a call at 655.3325 and I can give you some tips on the clutch job. Really easy on the second gen. Did you buy the white car with the black carbon fiber hood? If so I have a couple of parts you need to make that one right. It is running off a NA computer.

you all no shows! All I had there has Hinson boys! Where was everyone! I only went 6.9's over and over and over but all is well.....can you say "TIRE SPIN"! Almost hit the wall on one pass!

 

Sorry Mike. I couldn't make it out last night.

 

I was up there friday. Noah ran a best of 6.50 and Lane was still playing with the 2 step and solid rear axle. That sucks about getting close to the wall. Any videos?

 

Noah made one run Saturday and came back to the pits smoken oil like crazy (only pass he made). Lane went low 7's all night with one 6.9 pass. Both came and went on trailers..... But I drove my 6.9 car there.....There was also a v8 2nd gen there that broke too. Funny thing is, the only rx7 cars that I have scene break in the last year have been v8 ones.......

Dustin, quite swinging on Lanes nuts!

 

Me no swingy on his nut sack! I thought it was funny that he only ran low 7s all night friday. He never beat noah. Did you get any videos of the 6.5 pass? also I thought you have already ran lower. Hell with a 10.6 on the quarter that car is a mover. We need to catch up some time.

Dustin

 

sounded like Lane was spraying but I know he would say no... Noah made 1 pass that I didnt see, just saw him smokin up the parking lot on the way back in.

 

Noah said he had some blow by issues and was spray oil out of the breather I think. I am 85% sure lane sprays the **** out of that white car. It would be nice for you to spank a$$es with a real RX. I would get such a kick out of that.

 

I dont have enough right now to play with Noah's car... That car moves out very well. I am willing to bet Lane has more to pull out also.. But then again so do I..LOL....

 

my god i need to get to the track more...

 

Hey guys sorry I have been mia, I was doing field training for the past two weeks!!! Anything exciting go on? Also are any of the madison people around the Hughes rd and portal ln area??
